The Algarve, Portugal

Portugal’s Algarve region, also known as the Faro District, is a mix of coastline and rugged interior extending all the way from Faro to Sagres. Blessed with rich culture, beautiful beaches, whitewashed fishing villages and dramatic low cliffs overlooking sandy coves, it is no wonder why locals and visitors from afar have the Algarve region high on the bucket list. Besides providing thrill-seekers, beach bums and foodies with a personal paradise, the Algarve provides some of the best value for money; where the region is safe, English is widely spoken and the Portugese people are welcoming and hospitable.
